Information-wise to one single aspect of the show, this thread is probably the biggest contribution to the world from this sight. If I ever got a chance to buy/build a Daytona, I know I would be able to get virtually any answer I could ever need from these posts. If not, I could tag or PM the brightest and best.

agree, however the rub is that the information is scattered over meanwhile 93 forum pages which makes it a bit hard to follow-up for someone who hasn't been involved from the beginning

Yep, the info is hard to follow along w/ different topics mixed in all over but hey, it’s still great reading. My wife asked what I’ve been reading to be so quiet over the last few nights. I told her McBurnie Daytona research. Yep, she knows what a Mcburnie Daytona is lol.

Hopefully there will be more to post soon. The guy that is correcting our Daytona to closer TV accuracy has met with Roberts, McBurnie and even Camera Daytona for interviews. Once he presents it to me, I'll see if there is any "new" or un-discussed info.

Interior color question. Which of these colors looks close to the Camera Daytona interior? I’m building a 1/24 replica of CD’s #4. The last pic are my original Daytona w/ the Khaki interior.

door: sand (flat)

dash: satin almond

console: khaki (gloss)

IMHO none of the three does really cut it. They're either to grey or too brown. I think the iterior color of your original built is even a closer match, at least in the close-up. I would not go for flat or gloss, semi gloss/satin is the way to go .

Thank you Daytona365. I will keep looking for the right color. I still have the gloss khaki I used in the old Daytona model but I wasn’t really happy with any of these colors either lol. You’re just backing up my thoughts.

I have so many of these photos saved from CD’s #4 car & have been staring at them all week long trying to decide what’s best for color & I think I got to a point I couldn’t tell anymore lol. Thought I’d ask the pros

I am having a hell of a time finding a light tan spray paint though! I can only find dark tan or khaki. Now I’ll ask this, what color do you all see when looking at CD’s interior? Beigh/sand, saddle, tan?

Thanks ...though i am terrible trying to describe colors I'd have to say it is a sun-lightened saddle, and has really lightened with age to perhaps a light camel color....with a bit of a darker tint on the door panels. Hope that helps.

Seems pretty good match to the swatch I'd say, though keep in mind Connolly leather was typically used for high end luxury cars back in the day, and so it may be different than that used in Vettes. Also the issue to consider is whether you want to match the swatch or the lightened color seen in the series? Personally, I'd go with the latter.

Then use bottled paint, thin it and spray it wit an air brush...I'd think there will be a bigger selection of tones availble and you can even mix them to perfection

While it’s a great idea, I have no experience w/ air brushing. I’m ok w/ it closely matching your swatch which I think it does. Then once I build it I’ll leave it in the sun all summer & it will be perfect lol.
